asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what action he will take to bring to the notice of the 800,000 tenants of private landlords affected by the decontrol provisions of the Rent Act, 1957, the new protections afforded them by the 1965 Rent Act.

My right hon. Friend intends that when the Rent Bill 1965 has become law its provisions will be given intensive publicity. A free leaflet summarising the provisions of the Bill will be available through local authorities and Citizens' Advice Bureaux. More detailed information will be given in a question and answer booklet which will be published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office and will be available from bookshops everywhere, at 9d. A team of mobile cinemas will also be used to publicise the inauguration of the new Rent Assessment machinery as this is brought into operation in the various registration areas.
